Personally I simply find reading on ebook readers hard on the eyes, and difficult to maintain focus. It doesn't 'feel' right when handling the readers.
That's probably because there's no shortage of ISP's and backbones that haven't even started transitioning yet. I'm looking at you various companies in Canada.
But can one avoid it? Do they not play music over a speaker system in grocery stores in Canada?
Nope at least not in any store I go to. No music in the independents, or at Zehers, or even Walmart Supercenters. Not at Foodland, Foodbasics or IGA either.
I don't buy music at all. Then again I haven't had the urge to listen to the crap they pump out on the radio either. Regardless, you'll find that most canucks are united on this issue, that if they're going to tax us on something. We've already paid our dues to download it. I suppose that whole cradle to the grave idea of paying for something can bite you in the ass...
Really? It sounds like to me where a company I had a business relationship with has this odd idea that randomly shutting down, and locking me out of things I've bought, is a company I will no longer do business with. And it also sounds like good old word of mouth, will make sure that my friends know that this company enjoys randomly shutting down and locking them out of their purchases for PR stunts.
Well it'll have to be form of SSD, or USB key style media then. Because in most of the world, including the US you can't download 50+gb without moving into the 'heavy bandwidth users' area.
I actually found that more interesting for Canada. See you have lots of traffic here until the first holiday in May. Once that happens, and it's the May 24 weekend, summer officially starts even if there is snow on the ground still. Ah winter, how you drive us indoors when you don't make us free outdoors.
I'll point something out, that crime stats are notoriously difficult to equate cross-culturally without digging through the numbers, the crime, and properly applying time and resources to make sure crimes fall into the right areas.
A few examples: In Canada, 30g of pot is considered a misdemeanor in the US with a fine, in the US in most places, it's a felony with jail time. This also applies to parts of europe which have lower levels. Rape in Canada, is an act of violation without the "emission of seed"(per the criminal code). In Europe, it can be anywhere from the same, to inappropriate contact. In Canada, suicide and the help in any form to commit the act are the same as felonies in the US. In Japan depending, it's considered the same to a misdemeanor. In Canada assault has varying degrees. In other places, any form of "overt physical contact" is considered assault.
So to sum this up. If you take the raw, unadjusted stats, in a lot of cases you have an under representation of crime, or an over representation of crime, and a bunch of other crap that doesn't make any sense. And no, most countries don't do the adjustments themselves. They simply report their numbers, and it's left to various people to figure out whether or not, theft under is a minor crime, or a capital one(and yes that does exist still).
When you reap rewards from a community you are obliged to help support that community.
You know, I realize/. gets all touchy-feely and all that, but nah. They're not obligated to do shit, much like I'm not obligated to spend time volunteering to do things. Nor do you have the right to dictate that they give away their money.
I know, a strange concept, that something you make/earn/etc, is well..yours to play with, without someone going: YAY MONIES, WE TAKE!
Ah yes. As long as we don't, then that's okay. What the hell, the blood of a few billion people on my hands so I can feel happy that uh...I'm not polluting the earth. I'm starting to really believe the line of thought that environmentalists are suffering from some type of neurological disorder.
I don't know of any motherboard that doesn't support some form of Qflash and loading the bin directly from a flash drive, that's been made in the last 4 years. That includes CPU and HDD firmware updates.
No they're not prohibited from enforcing anything. The RCMP are a national police force, they can enforce any laws in Ontario, or none as circumstances permit. If it was a minor case(like catching people vandalizing, they'd probably contact the local or provincial dept. If it was something serious(DUI/Robbery/Assault), they'd jump right in. They're the provincial police, and local police out west, in the northern territories, and in parts out east. They can act in-force in other provinces. In Canada, a peace officer, is a peace officer, is a peace officer, no matter where you are.
Meaning if I was a cop in Ontario, and on vacation in Alberta. I can enforce the laws of Alberta, now we would have some really fancy paper work to go with it. But police in Canada are multi-jurisdiction, and are never off duty.
No they have it figured out. The HRC is a kangaroo court which is not bound to the normal judiciary rules of the Canadian legal system. Where with normal court, hearsay is inadmissible unless it falls under the exclusionary rules. Even in normal court the only other time that hearsay is admissible is during bail hearings. In the HRC court any and all forms of hearsay are admissible. You can be found guilty of hurting someones feelings, or perceived feelings, or no feelings at all. Factual evidence can be excluded based on the heads whim. There's no disclosure for the defense(In canada we have evidentiary disclosure, which means that the police & prosecution must disclosure all evidence to the defense so they can build, or manufacture a defense). At the end of the day, it's nothing other than a way for someone to silence someone based on whether their feelings were hurt.
If you want examples, feel free to look at Ezra Levant and Mark Styen(last two high profile cases). Both of who were tromped up in front of the HRC for publishing motoons(that's the cartoons in which muslims raged over drawn pictures). In a normal court, it would be bounced so fast that your head would still be spinning next year.
Did I mention that the "court" had a 100% conviction rate? Well it did until Levant and Styen showed up.
The reality is we don't need to worry about having our own nuclear deterrence. We can rely on the US, and in turn the US relies on us for air and primary/secondary support in times of war, via rearming/fuel/layovers/etc. This isn't to say we haven't ever carried nuclear weapons(US) in our bombers either, we did. A lot during the cold war. Or that we didn't run joint interdiction missions with the US either, because we did.
It wouldn't be nearly as bad if it were, say, Canada or Brazil.
Canada is already a nuclear power, we just don't have nuclear weapons. But we could build them in a very short time frame, as we have the infrastructure to do so.
Yeah it's a common issue with a bunch of different models of PLC's however there is a psychical write lock on the controller that can be engaged. Well that's as long as you're not stupid enough to buy PLC's without it, and that means you're spending an extra $4/unit. In the end it means that you have to either physically pull the PLC, memory card, or controller card to be able to allow writing to the unit.
Who is programming their PLC's? And why aren't they put into 'lock' mode(AKA ROM) when they're put into production machinery so the EEPROM can't be affected? I used to write programs for PLC's(generally Mitsubishi and Siemens), and you always locked the device or update when you were finished, so things like this can't happen.
If the law is so out of sync with reality that everybody find adherence to be too difficult to do, or too invasive to want to abide by, then isn't that an indication that the law is out of sync with reality?
Well...yes. In fact Cicero stated this before the roman assembly on more than one occasion. This is going back 2000 years, I'm however surprised that people don't know this has been going on forever.
Wait. How is this redundant? Is today's news yesterday's news already, considering I hadn't heard that they finally after 4/5 years released a x64 windows version? And the lead story only mentions 'nix, not all other OS's on the market...

Better let the polar bears know, because it only took them 5-10k years to adapt. That's pretty quick in geologic time.
I'll remember that. It seems that 3M filter-lite paint masks, medical gloves, and welders glasses are okie!

Yep, works well.

The DRM is steam based. So it's either amazingly good, or it will consume your first, second, and third born in order to let you play.

I think that was the idea behind this. Or "How to lose your customers in 3 easy steps."
And perhaps most of that infrastructure is even in Quebec?
No most of it is in Ontario, up Ottawa way, and along the great lakes. Although there is a civilian breeder reactor in Toronto(university).
Quantum Chocolate. ^8 in sweetness, with ^64 in fattening power!
Ah yes. As long as we don't, then that's okay. What the hell, the blood of a few billion people on my hands so I can feel happy that uh...I'm not polluting the earth. I'm starting to really believe the line of thought that environmentalists are suffering from some type of neurological disorder.
